She’s Not Heavy…

June 22, 2010 blogging

All day I’ve been thinking about which mom blogger I’d like to thank today. I am surrounded by a sea of amazing mom bloggers. There are many that have changed and impacted my blogging life.

Asa’s Favorite Word

February 12, 2010 motherhood

I find them everywhere: in my closet, in the washing machine, on the kitchen counter, in the toy boxes, in the car, on the floor and most of all in Asa’s hands. What is it? Matchbox cards? Nerf balls? Dinosaurs? Nope. None of the above. Asa loves puff balls. You know, like pom-poms? We had [...]

I’ve got lots of stuff to cut out, hang and cook for Asa’s birthday party. And even more stuff to clean. Why does [...]

June 29, 2009 motherhood

Yesterday we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. While Lydia was eating her fried rice and sipping egg drop soup, she suddenly looked grown up to me. I don’t know if it was because her hair was cute or because she doesn’t need any help eating or because she literally got taller the night before. [...]
